Hi 

It's  no good me saying don't worry because you will. Try and talk to your loved ones and accept support. I didn't and now regret it. My family are brilliant and I mistakenly thought I was protecting them by not telling them. My husband was really upset! 

The waiting is the worst and you will feel so much better when you know what you are dealing with, even if it's bad news. I remember thinking ok let's get on with it then! 

Good luck and remember there is loads of support on here.

Hi there,

Sorry you're going through this :( but welcome to the forum, you're in good hands here.

You'll know all the standards "most lumps are benign" etc. and it is all true so do try to hold to it, but it doesn't really stop the worry, only getting the results does.

The waiting is the hardest in all of this, I found it helped to intentionally write a schedule for each day that included things that required my brain, and to stick to it.  But everyone is different.

And please, while I don't know you or your family, please don't go thinking you are letting any of your family down in any way!  This is a worry that it is best to share, even if with just a few close people.  And I'm sure they wouldn't want you to be going through this and not make them aware of it.

Hopefully you will get results soon, let us know how you get on?

Hi 

please never think you are letting your family down. Nobody asks for this worry. Your family love you and want to be there for you. Imagine if it was your daughter, would you feel she was letting you down? Absolutely not! 

Snding a big hug. Xx
